Today I got kicked out of a multiplayer game that I was in. I just thought that I had lost connection and it wasn’t a big deal. However I then get a message from an unkown account saying that they know where I live and what broadband I am connected to. They
specified them and were true. I immediatly blocked the account and reported it. However I am now worried as this person may know exactly where I reside.

Any help would be appreciated on what next course of action I should take.

You should also reboot your modem and network, since this will change your IP address to a different value. Lastly, you may want to contact your Internet Service Provider to let them know what happened.

All that said, the likelihood that this other user will try and locate you are extremely remote. They do this as a scare tactic, and most likely have no intention of trying to use the data.

When you join parties with some strangers they can get access to your internet details. Usually it's to DDOS you. Which basically shuts down your router for a while. People try this a lot in some games. With me it's Siege. Usually when they are losing
I will get a party invite. I never join because of that possibility. I would follow the advice given and report and block. If you are worried about your safety contact the Police. Just to let them know what happened so they can at least document it.

Report this person and block them. If you think you might be in danger call the police immediately.
